Cleveland, OH – The U.S. Marshals Northern Ohio Violent
Fugitive Task Force (NOVFTF) arrested fugitive Troy Adamini, age 23, at
approximately 10:00 a.m. this morning at a residence on the 4600 block of W.
47th Street in Cleveland. Adamini was wanted for felonious assault from an incident
that occurred on August 26, 2013 in Sheffield Lake where he allegedly stabbed a
male in the back during a drug deal gone bad. The case was referred to the
NOVFTF for apprehension by the Lorain County Sheriff’s Office and the NOVFTF
had been pursuing Adamini throughout Lorain County without success.

Yesterday, the NOVFTF added Adamini to the most wanted
“Dangerous Dozen” list and profiled his photo in the local media. The NOVFTF
received an anonymous text tip late last night with information placing the
fugitive at a residence in Cleveland, where he had been hiding out to avoid
arrest.

The NOVFTF investigated the information and determined it to
be credible. The NOVFTF Lorain County Division teamed up with the NOVFTF
Cleveland Division and approached the residence this morning to make the arrest
attempt. Adamini was located in the residence and arrested without incident.
Also located and arrested was Adamini’s girlfriend, Brittany Holstein, age 20,
wanted by the Lorain County Sheriff’s Office for obstruction of justice charges
stemming from the same incident with Adamini. Drug paraphernalia was also found
at the scene of the arrest. Both subjects were transported to the Lorain County
Jail.

Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal Roberto Robinson stated, “This is
another successful example of the public utilizing current technology to
anonymously deliver us information critically needed to locate and apprehend
another dangerous fugitive. We thank the media for delivering this information
to the public and the concerned citizen that responded to it.”
